<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>With Host Tina Fey</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong>The Hidden World of Girls</strong>, two new hour-long Specials hosted by Emmy Award-winning writer and actress, Tina Fey.&nbsp;Stories of coming of age, rituals and rites of passage, secret identities&mdash;of women who crossed a line, broke a trail, changed the tide.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Host Tina Fey,&nbsp;</span></strong><span>star of&nbsp;<em>30 Rock</em>, author of&nbsp;<em>Bossypants</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Saturday Night Live&nbsp;</em><span>alumna, t</span>akes listeners around the world into the secret life of girls&mdash;from the dunes of the Sahara&nbsp;to a slumber party in Manhattan, from the dancehalls of Jamaica to a racetrack in Ramallah&mdash;and reveals some of her own hidden worlds. &nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>These two new specials are produced by the Peabody Award-winning Kitchen Sisters, in collaboration with NPR and independent producers from around the world.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Inspired by &ldquo;The Hidden World of Girls&rdquo; series heard on Morning Edition and &ldquo;All Things Considered&rdquo;, these specials feature the best stories from that series as well as new, never before heard features, interviews and music. &nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Lively, sound-rich, evocative, &ldquo;The Hidden World of Girls&rdquo; is two hours of stories and more. Stories of girls and the women they become.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>As part of this international collaboration, The Kitchen Sisters opened up The Hidden World of Girls NPR phone line and invited listeners to share their stories of groundbreaking girls and pioneering women. Calls poured in from around the world and these stories and messages thread throughout the hours. Stories in the hour include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>The story of&nbsp;<strong>The Braveheart Women&rsquo;s Society</strong>: Coming of Age in South Dakota, a journey to a four-day rite of passage ceremony for Sioux girls from the banks of the Missouri River.</li>
<li>From&nbsp;the foothills of Dublin,&nbsp;<strong>The Hidden World of Traveller Girls</strong>. Travellers, the gypsies of Ireland, nomads traveling in caravans, camping by the side of the road. The men live for horses, the girls for their weddings. Big elaborate weddings.</li>
<li><span>We travel to Wayne County, Mississippi into the world of&nbsp;<strong>Girls Who Hunt</strong>.</span>&nbsp;</li>
<li>We grapple with issues of family, crime, violence and reckoning in the story,&nbsp;<strong>Deborah Luster: One Big Self</strong></li>
<li><strong><span>Russia&rsquo;s Singing Babushkas</span></strong><span>&mdash;a group of elderly women from Buranovo, Russia, who began singing together and who have become a musical sensation at concerts performing Beatles songs.&nbsp;</span><strong><span>&nbsp;</span></strong></li>
<li>And science fiction stories of friendship, superpowers and the Beatles. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
